Vanishing Point Ltd.

Vanishing Point was founded in 2017 by Ben Sharp and Milo Verbowski. We are a small team, each with more than a decade of experience in visual effects, motion capture and film production. Our range of tools and services are built on this experience, improving the quality and usability of virtual production both on-set and in studio, while also making the technology used on multi-million-dollar film sets more accessible. Using our custom software and hardware tools, we can help you bring virtual production to any studio or project, regardless of size.

A plug and play virtual production solution.

VECTOR is our flagship product. A combination of hardware and custom software that allows you to use cutting edge virtual production tools right away, out of the box. We have designed it from the ground up to make it simple to use, and to bring camera tracking, prop tracking and real-time compositing into your studio quickly and easily, without any extra development time. Plug in the capture card, plug in the sensor and start shooting.

Automatic lens offset tools to get you set up quickly, and remove manual error from the camera-to-sensor offset calculation.

Automatic floor plane detection with line-up tools to easily integrate the virtual into the real world.

Area mapping to scan a space and export to file, for use as post-vis geometry, or lighting/holdout masking in 3D space.

Unreal Engine plugin with live tracking of camera and markers, chroma keying / color correction / matte controls, prop or light constraining to tracked markers, time syncing functions and a HUD with timecode and slate information.

Maya plugin with live tracking of camera and markers, recording to keyframes and auto-naming of recorded takes from slate.

Third-party Plugins:

We supply plugins to connect to Vector, grab the streaming data and apply it to cameras or props in your production software. Currently we ship plugins for Maya and Unreal Engine, and will support Unity, Motionbuilder and more in the coming weeks. If you use another application, let us know! We aim to support as many third-party display engines as possible.
